Inflation analysis
Inflation in Nigeria
This page covers 68 years of Nigeria consumer price data, from 1959 to 2026. The steepest single year on record was 1995, when consumer prices in Nigeria rose 72.8%. A rate that high compounds brutally: at that pace money loses about half its value every two years.
Prices fell in 3 of those 67 years — about 4% of the time — most sharply in 1967, when they dropped 3.7%. In a year like that money gained purchasing power rather than losing it. By decade, the 1990s were the most inflationary stretch, averaging 30.6% a year, while the 1960s were the calmest at 3.5%. Over the last ten years inflation has averaged 18.6% a year, above the 16.4% average across the whole record.
